That's one of the nice things about exceptions. If you throw an exception, processing jumps to the appropriate catch and never returns. try { // Do normal stuff. if (!$valid) { throw new Exception('OMG!'); } // Do more normal stuff. } catch (Exception $e) { // Print user friendly message. // Log detailed information or whatever you're going to do. } -- Larry Garfield larry@garfieldtech.com
